Lettie Law: Not really.

Lettie Law: I do that by staying away from certain words and sentences that may come out as rude or insensitive.

MusicsWeek: What role does nature or your environment play in your songwriting?

Lettie Law: Not always.But this depends on the song that I am getting. I’ve received songs in a very noisy atmosphere, I’ve received songs even in a very busy surrounding, and some places you can call toxic environments.

MusicsWeek: When did you first realize you wanted to be a musician?

Lettie Law: I didn’t really want to be a musician, even though I was receiving and writing songs, it never occurred to me that I would be making it public. I was very shy and kept refusing to sing publicly until it became a matter of life and death.

MusicsWeek: What was the first song you ever wrote, and what inspired it?

Lettie Law: Prayer is a master key’ inspired by the long list of answered prayers that I had as a child, I wrote this song when I was around 6years old.

MusicsWeek: How did you get started in the music industry?

Lettie Law: A long story of how I felt I was dying every night but the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me, this issue resolved as soon as I made the first album.
